About the research internships
Through the Research Internships Scheme we will match Academy supported researchers with students to work on some of the most challenging problems facing society. These placements will increase the transition of diverse students into employment whilst also providing meaningful exposure to the engineering research world. It will also provide researchers with practical opportunities to develop inclusive leadership skills and give them access to research support and insight from a new generation of engineering talent.
Successful applicants will be awarded a summer internship, for a duration of 4-12 weeks (summer 2024) and paid the real cost of living wage as recommended by the Living Wage Foundation.[1]
[1] The real cost of living wage is £13.15 per hour and £12.00 per hour UK wide this is over the government national wages and is not reduced by age (January 2024).
